Just checking in - how is everybody doing?

Good evening girls!

Just checking in how all of you are doing? I have had a good week but also heard that transcription will be slow for a while - until flu season and allergies pick up - so it means financial worries for me and I am a bit upset as the doctor's group promised me that they will always have enough work to keep me busy (when I was contemplating giving up my own contract). So based on their promise of always having work for me I decided to just work for them and now the crunch! I would appreciate any prayers please. I am trying really hard not to worry about it because who knows what the next week/month will hold. It might not even be necessary to worry and I know can leave it in God's hands to take care of us.

Im still going to the gym on a daily basis though this week I went late afternoon but I slept so very well this week! I feel really good and not sure if its because I have been getting 8+ hours a night or because I am now finally a bit fitter as I have been going to the gym now for 4 weeks. Its about time to start feeling better. I think I lost some definite inches as I can start to notice differences on the way my clothes fit and the way my legs "look" to me and I am hoping the scale will be kind on Monday morning. I only get on once a week otherwise I become obsessive!

Any ideas where I can find some exercise clothes that would actually fit me? I have been to Target and Kohls and they have the cutest stuff but let me tell you - I want to see that model that wears their XXL as I cannot fit into it and I normally wear a XL to XXL depending on the cut and which store I am shoping at. I cannot for the death of me find decent sleeveless exercise shirts and it makes me mad! I tried the XXL and I think I need about a 5XL in that size and if Im lucky it might fit me! I do not want skin tight either, i look like a stuffed sausage! I just want something that will be comfortable and make me feel like going to exercise! I got two capri length exercise pants and Im quite happy with them but until I find tops I will just be wearing my Walmart t's over that. Talk about frustration! So one of my goals is to get slimmer to wear that XXL top I saw at Target...

Have a good weekend everybody and hope you are not getting too much rain. We have had rain on and off for the past two weeks.

LL,

Your commitment is strong! That is so exciting and you have accomplished so much. I know God is cheering you on and so I am and our team!

Do you have Lane Bryant in Tyler? I know also, Henderson has a Beall's that has XXL sizes. We always shop there when I go so see my brother.

I will pray for your work, that God will bless.

In Him,
CK

I got some of my workout stuff at JC Pennys. I also got some of it in the men's department of Target. There is also a website Junonia - www.junonia.com. They do have larger sizes but I think they are way too expensive.

You will be in those smaller clothes before you know it. You are doing great with the gym.
